Well just bought my dad a new Sig P250, 40 S&W yesterday for Christmas. He has been wanting a handgun for a good while now and after hearing him go back and forth on a Sig/Glock/Springfield I decided to just step up and make a purchase. He had liked the P226 or P229, but the near $800 price tag had me looking elsewhere. Ended up getting this P250, two-toned 40 for $535 new. Figured for the price I couldn't wait. Is this a good choice? This is his first handgun so I want it to be something he will enjoy shooting. Should I have sucked it up and paid the extra $$ for the P226 or P229?
